Playing back recorded midi

Hi!

This is driving me nuts... I want to record the midi and and play back the sound from my korg karma in my mpc 2000xl.... should be pretty straightforward, right?

So I have <midi out B> going to midi in of the karma, then I have midi out of the karma going to <midi in 2> on the mpc. .........(<midi out A> is sending midi from the mp to sequence my Roland mc 303 and <midi in 1> is coming from my sound card to sync with logic for tracking out, both work perfectly)

I set a track to midi, play some keys... but its not playing back from the karma.... if I switch the midi track from B to A, then it will play the recorded midi, but the sound obviously comes from the mc303..... ?.... I have tried just switching the leads, but still no sound from the karma, I assume Im not setting the karma up correctly?.... the thing is I have had it working the way I want, but I can't remember what I did! and days of messing about have left me with the same results..... I know the mpc and korg triton/karma is a pretty standard set up....Any ideas??!!

thanks in advance!

check your channels. is the karma receiving on channel 1 and do you have the mpc track set to midi 1b?

Hi!

the mpc is set to 1B........ not sure about the Karma, its new to the set up, so I'm still getting my head around it.... The manuals been 'put somewhere safe'.... so I will probably never find that again! ha ha!

Thanks Guys,

.... It was a brand new midi cable, turned out to be a piece of sh*t!......

really appreciate your time and effort in helping out, if it hadn't of been a new cable, I might have checked that sooner!

Thanks again!

let this be a lesson in 'brand new' dont mean shit. i bought a few 'brand new' things in my life that ended up to be total garbage. ever moreso these days with the amount of knockoffs / cheap shit on ebay.

glad its working.
